grep or fgrep ?

[Richard]

Thanks for the try, but your command did not work.


rick at 64bit:/usr/share/services/searchproviders$ sudo  fgrep "Keys" *desktop | 
{sed|cut|awk|sort|uniq} > /dev/shm/my_list.log
bash: {sed: command not found
cut: you must specify a list of bytes, characters, or fields
Try `cut --help' for more information.
bash: uniq}: command not found
